Mental Health and Authority in Christ
We live in a fallen world with an enemy that never quits. With that said, it is important for us to understand that we have authority in Christ as believers. This is an essential part of living free and staying free. As Christ-followers, we have been tasked with bringing Heaven’s rule and reign to earth. The word “authority” means “delegated power,” this means the value of our authority rests in the power behind it. Matthew 28:18 says “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” When we put our faith in Christ His authority is our authority. This is great news because the God of the universe is the power behind our authority. When we understand this and know how to exercise that authority, we can face the enemy, fearlessly. Now that we are aware that we have this authority it’s time we put it to use.
Job 22:28 says, “You will declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.”
